I live in the UK but have spent quite a bit time in Norway over 15 years. However you want to measure it in Norway there is undoubtedly a higher standard of living .You notice the general 'happiness' the moment you go throught the airport terminal. I wonder if you should mention in your article that they are hugely suspicious of any foreigners, largely borne out from the Germans in WWII and the ever constant threat they perceive from Russia. Is that taken into account in the index you discuss?

I don't know about Australia being # 2?Just go to darwin and the northern territory, kimberly region and arhnem land and ask the Aboriginies.The quality of life is a slow kill and cut off from the spiritual connection they have with "country".It's not all "sydney and "melbourne" here i'm afraid..It seems to be a NWO agenda of the most desirable places to IMMIGRATE to..as immigration is big time here and now, like where you girls are...The grass is always greener hey.Cheers A13
